One hour decant before tasting. Deep ruby colored. Butterscotch dominated the nose with perhaps some red fruit udnerneath. Medium bodied with high tannins and low air. Strong granite/slate flavors with some dark fruits that emerged with air and a pronounced spiciness throughout, especially on the finish. Good value at this price.

Opened for an hour, but did not decant. Was a little better on the second night......so, will open earlier and decant the next time. This is an elegant wine with a touch of decadence. I like the style. Not up the WA rating right now, but sense it will improve.

Staring to get really good. Wish I had more to hold and see what it can be in a few years.

Opened for one and a half hours. This bottle showed signs of evolving to the WA rating. Drinking well right now.

Still not up to the WA rating, but still good and a good value. Continues to have the hint of decadence/fruitiness that I like.
